Chapter 271 Target Zhuo County
Zhang Fei is a fool, and Guan Yu can understand much better than Zhang Fei. This shows that Guan Erye’s Spring and Autumn Period has not been read in vain.
Guan Yu understood the matter clearly, so he said that he could not join Yuan Shao's army. Instead of joining Yuan Shao's army to be under the command of others, it would be better to conquer a county first and then slowly plan it.
After hearing what his second and third brothers said, Liu Bei thought to himself that the military advisor would have to do the matter of making an idea. Since Shan Fu asked this, he had already made a decision in his mind.
"My military advisor, don't keep it a secret. You should tell me your ideas quickly." Liu Bei said to Shan Fu.
When Shan Fu heard this, he smiled and said, "Don't be anxious about Shu King, I have my own idea. The second general said it well. We can't drink Yuan Shao's army together. Yuan Shao is very bad. He can't conquer Tongguan now and his troops are too damaged. So he invited you to go to Tongguan together. This is to use your troops to push the tank. If you go, you will hit his plan."
"The second general said that the land of a county is taken as the foundation. This county is too small to support our 80,000 soldiers. Since I promised to take the land of a county for the lord within two months a few days ago, I can naturally take the land of a county as the foundation."
"Hey, military advisor, I said there is not much time now. How can you take down this county? Could it be that you can still invite some golden armored strong men to help us?" Zhang Fei asked.
"Ha ha!"
"The three generals were joking. I can't invite the old master of Jinjia Lishi, but this county is no problem. I not only want to take this county as the foundation for the King of Shu, but also take a county that is quite rich." Shan Fu said with a promise.
After Shan Fu said this, the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang stared at the map tightly, but after looking for a long time, they could not see the reason. Now Cao Cao's territory is like a dog-chewing pancake, and the places where they can get in the mouth have been gnawed. Now, there is really no place where they can get in the mouth.
"Military advisor, I see that Cao Cao's territory is no longer easy to obtain. Where can I take this county?" Liu Bei asked with a confused look on his face.
"No, no."
"There is still a county, which can be easily obtained." Shan Fu smiled slightly, playing the puzzle.
At this time, Guan Yu's pair of phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, stroked his beard and said, "Was the military advisor talking about Zhuo County?"
The three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang are very familiar with Zhuo County. Zhuo County is Zhang Fei's hometown. Before meeting Liu Bei, Zhang Fei killed pigs and sold meat in Zhuo County. The three brothers met in Zhuo County and then became a feud in Taoyuan in Zhuo County.
From this we can see that this Zhuo County is a very memorable place for the three brothers.
"Zhuo County, this Zhuo County is a wealthy place. Although it is not as good as Xuzhou, it is not bad." Zhang Fei said from the side.
Zhang Fei is from Zhuo County. His ancestors lived in Zhuo County for generations. Zhang Fei once had a manor in Zhuo County. Of course, the manor was sold later and exchanged for silver and money to recruit soldiers for Liu Bei, which was considered to be an original stock for Liu Bei. The original stock of Liu Bei was not very successful. After so many years, he only saw a decline but not a rise.
Zhuo County is close to Xuzhou, Zhuo County, the capital of Zhuo County, and is only a few dozen miles away from Xiaopei, an important town in Xuzhou. Xuzhou is a wealthy place. Xuzhou is a major transportation route. This transportation route is not only a place that military strategists must compete for, but also a place that merchants must go to.
In ancient times, there were no airplanes, and air transport places. To transport east and west, there were only land transport and water transport. No matter whether you were from south to north or from north to south, you were traveling to Xuzhou on land. Even if you were traveling to water, you had to pass through the Yellow River, which still flowed through Xuzhou.
In short, this businessman could definitely not avoid Xuzhou. Because of this, Xuzhou is very rich, and this wealth even radiates to counties around Xuzhou like Zhuo County.
Zhuo County is quite wealthy, and the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang are quite familiar with this place. Why didn’t the three of them expect it? They had to let the single blessings be revealed before Guan Yu said it.
In fact, it was not that they didn’t think about it, but that they didn’t dare to think about it. Haven’t you seen that all the surrounding areas of Cao Cao’s territory have been chewed down, but no one in Zhuo County has moved.
What is the reason for this? It is precisely because Zhuo County is close to Xuzhou. Whose territory is Xuzhou? Xuzhou is Li Chen's territory. Li Chen is now a powerful general, and he is afraid of anyone who sees it. The two most powerful under Yuan Shao's men, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, were unable to hold on even Yuwen Chengdu.
Think about it, it is not difficult to conquer Zhuo County, but after conquer Zhuo County, it means that you have to be a neighbor for Li Chen. Can it feel good to be adjacent to a tiger? Because of this, when Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu marched, they only brought down Zhuo County.
Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are afraid of Li Chen, and Liu Bei is also afraid of it. Although his second brother Guan Yu and third brother Zhang Fei are brave enough, it depends on who they are compared with. Compared with ordinary generals, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are powerful, but compared with Yuwen Chengdu and Pei Yuanqing, the investigation is not a little bit.
"Military advisor, isn't this good to fight Zhuo County?" Liu Bei said hesitantly.
"King of Shu, what's wrong with it?" Shan Fu asked.
"Military advisor, this Qin King Li Chen is not easy to get along with." Liu Bei said.
When he attacked Li Chen, he lent Liu Bei eight courages, Liu Bei did not dare to fight. Compared to General, his brothers and three had never fought a single Yuwen Chengdu, and he compared to the military, let alone Liu Bei. Even Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were defeated by Li Chen.
It is precisely because of this that Liu Bei doesn't want Li Chen, the evil neighbor.
"The King of Shu is worried too much. It is true that Li Chen is a tiger, but this tiger already has its favorite prey. Before he hunts this prey, our safety can be guaranteed."
"Since Li Chen is building a large ship, it is enough to show that his target is Sun Jian, the Eastern Wu. The land of Jiangdong is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The father and son of the Sun family are known as the tiger in Jiangdong. If Li Chen wants to take down Dongwu, he will have to destroy the power of the nine oxen and two tigers."
"If Li Chen starts a war with us at this time, as long as we delay for a year or two, his plan to fight Jiangdong in the east will be ruined. I think Li Chen will not feel involved in the melee in the Central Plains before the resolution of Jiangdong." Shan Fu said confidently.
After Shan Fu's analysis, Liu Bei couldn't help but lit up. If this were the case, Zhuo County would be really good. Zhuo County is a wealthy county, much richer than Beihai County, which is mainly fishing.
At that time, he would be able to recruit soldiers and horses again with the two counties of Zhuo County and Beihai. In this way, he would be able to gain greater benefits in the matter of the division of Cao in the four families.
